Nando develops microbiological products that promote healthy and strong plant growth, enhance plant drought resistance and promote soil biodiversity. The beneficial microorganisms in “BioNPK Powder S” convert nutrients (N, P, K, Si) into plant-accessible forms and promote their uptake.

BioGreen Road introduces Poly-Water Plus, a 100% biodegradable moisture retainer that optimizes the use of water and nutrients in agriculture, especially in areas with water scarcity. Designed to release water and nutrients gradually, it reduces irrigation consumption, improving productivity and minimizing environmental impact.

LEV2050 goes a step further to facilitate the use of microorganisms in agriculture, encouraging the use of microorganisms that lead to reductions in fertilizer inputs and effective biocontrol solutions. A step forward towards a responsible, healthy, biological, respectful and efficient agriculture in terms of biofertilization and biocontrol.

Pulverizadores Fede presents its AIs System: a comprehensive agronomic solution for specialty crops based on image processing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). AIs, installed on the tractor, can “see” the state and vigor of crops by capturing images with 3D cameras with high level of detail and precise temporal resolution.

AICrop is an artificial intelligence-based platform that integrates internal and external company data to improve decision making in the agricultural sector. It provides real-time analytics, optimizing crop management and enabling more efficient planning.

Auravant is a digital agriculture 4.0 platform that enables farmers, companies and agronomists to make informed decisions through the analysis of geospatial data and the integration of systems, devices and solutions with a differential value proposition in precision agriculture and sustainability.

Agrimarca is a leading farm in sustainable techniques, committed to quality and yield. They implement crop rotation through variable no-tillage, reducing the carbon footprint with innovative fertilizers such as those formulated with green hydrogen, such as Impacto Ø, generating in turn carbon credits with Agreena.

The National University of Quilmes presents a bait kit with biological agents for the sustainable control of leaf-cutter ants, one of the main agricultural pests in the Americas. The proposal consists of a biological control kit with two or three bait formulations that include fungal organisms with the capacity to kill the ants and the fungus on which they feed.

Ecometry is an advanced solution for the precise monitoring and control of NPK levels in the soil, enabling more efficient fertilizer management and reducing its environmental impact. With this technology, farmers can optimize nutrient and fertilizer use, and promote more environmentally friendly and profitable agricultural production.

TUPL is developing an artificial vision system that allows cooperatives, orchards and growers to predict and meet production standards. Through this technology, critical parameters such as number of flowers, fruit set percentage, ripening stage and fruit size are quantified.

The Fixbean platform allows farmers and health authorities to detect and count pests in real time from the field, even offline, generating incidence maps and facilitating an agile and preventive response. This AI tool has proven its power in demanding conditions in geographic areas with different climates and difficult access.

APOLO Biotech is a biotechnology platform focused on developing innovative solutions for sustainable agricultural production. They provide answers to a growing demand for food worldwide, solutions that minimize environmental impact and risk to human health, reducing the use of synthetic pesticides.

Through the adoption of digital tools and innovative solutions, Harvverse seeks to generate new sources of income and optimize agricultural operations, driving a more prosperous and sustainable future for all stakeholders in the sector.

AgUnity is a technology startup that enables digital inclusion and digital empowerment at scale for smallholder farmers. A platform that overcomes technological barriers, improves collaboration by building trust with a reliable digital record, and reduces food waste through increased efficiency in supply chain logistics.

InsectBiotech converts lignin-rich agricultural residues, such as olive pomace, into high-value products, such as insect protein, oil and waste, using black soldier fly larvae. With a seed investment secured, IB has established prototype facilities and a long-term supply agreement for olive pomace.
